Fast food is an addiction not nutrition. Some people develop the addiction and the restaurants feed it.

Normal food behavior is to eat until satiated. We've pretended it's normal to gorge yourself at McDonald's and such because saying otherwise makes some people feel bad.

People adopting normal food behavior aren't going to be drawn to eating at such a restaurant. The food that's been mentioned is trivial to make at home and requires less time than going out.

In places where there's enough mass of people to actually make this worthwhile (mainly Asia), there's tons of options, but no large ones.

I just wonder how poor people can afford to eat fast food. I wish I could afford to order food every day. I cannot. So I have to cook for myself which I have never really done before, but as an adult I had to learn.

Yeah, but I am talking about everyone else in this thread (or most people). It is WAY cheaper to cook your own food.
